No, you've got it wrong =) Those styles have nothing to do with local vs global. They are just different ways of telling the injector what to inject. The latter of which will not work with minified code, due to name mangling.
I can't remember why "locals" came up, I think it was because I was explaining how to use the $controller() api as an example. Totally unrelated, though.
